When my kids were just getting certified, I made them haul all of their gear. I took an old dolly made to hold oxygen and acetylene tanks. Padded the areas where the tanks would rub, adjusted the chains to secure the 63's that they were using and put larger wheels/tires on it. They hauled...

I did something similar to MTS0268, except I added two uprights that I slip the legs over. They extend about two feet up inside of the wetsuit, I have a lot of holes drilled in them and I have a small fan out of a furnace that moves a lot of air. I pinch of the neck to prevent the forced air...

Welcome!

Used to frequent this board daily. Lightening blew up the home computer and cant use the work computer to access forums. So, now I have another laptop and will be perusing the boards again.

The drought in the midwest has created unbelievable visibility in the Ohio River. I took the kayak upstream about 2 miles, attached the flag to the stern, dropped a weight off the bow hanging about 8 feet below the surface. Attached a 6 foot lead to the anchor and drifted out from the bank in...

1976 moved to Florida at age 16. First person I met was another 16 year who dove. I thought it would be neat. Two weeks later he borrowed his older brothers gear, took me to a stripper pit, placed wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy to much weight on me, told me not to hold my breath and pushed me off the edge...

Unless you want to use a mounting bracket..........the waterproof bags interfere with mounting the unit............

I am a GPS fanatic. I have been using them and teaching others how to use them since 1993. I own several different versions by several different manufactures, Lowrance, Magellan and Garmin. I use them in my truck on my motorcycle in my boat and on my diving kayak. For use on the water, I...

Working part time as an EMT earns play money. Like others here, I am a rescue diver for the county and they pay for a lot of what I get to do. Have access to free air...

Hey Darcy, now I know what Flipper was talking about. :D First time I dove with a camera. I was so carefull to have it conected with a tether to my BC. Drop off the boat, get on the bottom and darn, I have lost my brand new camera, must have came off when I jumped in. I was really bumed...

Silver Sharpies work great

I am 21---------with 24 years experience

I just typed in "fatality" in their search area it came right up. Not sure why someone wouldn't dive with the operator again based onthis limited information. Article reads like diver had the big one while swimming bacgk to the boat. Cain't blame the operator for that...

Most of the time if I have an issue with my hood catching air, its just not sitting in the right spot on my head. Try "sliding" it back a little bit and see if that helps. Take a nail (the kind you drive into a baord) and heat it up, melt a small hole at the crown of the hood and it will...

Two of my alum-80' tanks I purchased new in 1979. They just passed Hydro again. Due to their age, most shops will only fill them to 2500-2750 psi. Which is fine. I usually use them for dives where I would not miss the 500psi anyway. Like most things, how long they last is relative to the care...

Thanks for the report. Makes me want to get back down there again. Ditto on currrent. Sometimes its rippen other times nothing. Either way the SP is an awsome dive. Here is my then 15 year old son hanging on

Actually it can. I was gearing up to dive with my son when some of the #9 shot started leaking out of one of my sons soft weights (they are homemade). I wrapped it in duct tape, but I couldnt seem to get the shot to stop leaking. I dropped the pack into a section of pantyhose, tied a knot in...

Go withthe passports, it makes life so much easier when going through customs. Its little things like Customs agent to my cousins wife: "The name on your drivers license doe not match the name on your birth certificate!" Cousins wife replied "I wasn't married at the time of my birth" Customs...

RGist, thanks for the info. This ball started last September, but we lost our grant money so we are still operating by the ole' tug on the rope technique. If something changes (we get money) I will look into Neptune II's system. Thanks again.

Hey, but it would only happen once. :D
